Chess in Philadelphia (1898), is a historical account of the development of chess in Philadelphia from its early organized clubs up through the late 19th century. Written by Gustav Reichhelm with assistance from Walter Penn Shipley, it documents the growth of the city’s chess culture, including its clubs, leading players, notable matches, and informal competitions. It also preserves many games and biographical sketches of prominent local masters, showing how Philadelphia became one of the most important centers of American chess during that period and how figures like Shipley helped shape its active and well-connected chess community. L/N 245. Betts 6 - 21. Chicco - Porreca S. 424.
"A chronological survey, with biographical sketches of eminent players, 122 games, a selection of problems by Philadelphia problemists, and miscellaneous articles, including a further 32 games played by Morphy." (Betts)
